If you thought a twelve minutes anime special couldn't make you cry from laughter, then you're wrong.

Firstly, this special is actually supposed to tease the most intense crisis of the Gintama anime ever. Shougun Assassination arc? Eh, yeah we'll come to that later, but let's just enjoy the typical Gintama humor in the first five minutes. You'll actually see them parodying a certain popular Jump series while sharing a cake with some of their most beloved friends. And in typical Gintama manner these five minutes of randomness gave me breathing issues.

After the cake incident there's a five minutes trailer to the arguably most dramatic
Gintama arc up to now. At that point you've probably watched the Shougun Assassintion arc anyways, but just watching these scenes with Shigeshige and Gin vs. Takasugi will give you those feels again.

To sum it up: For Gintama fans, who want to have a good laugh again after the shows intensity and as well for those, who didn't watch the SA-arc or want to see some of those moments again, this special is definitely recommended.
